the latest for us again. pierre? >> reporter: sources are telling us that a letter addressed to mississippi senator roger wicker tested positive for the poison ricin at at senate field office in maryland. the tests are notoriously unreliable the source said, and the letter is being tested a second time for a more definitive result. the package was intercepted and never reached the capital complex. officials are saying security is being stepped up. ricin is derived from castor beans and can be lethal if ingested or inhaled. in 2004, a letter containing ricin shut down offices for two days. and in 2003, the secret service revealed president bush received a letter containing a vial of ricin. and again, i want to point out, we have no idea if this is connected at all in any way to what happened in boston. and also, you do not have a post mark on that letter yet, so we

don't know when it was sent. >> exactly. we don't know where it came from, or when it was mailed, but officials are saying right now, no connection to boston. no connection to boston that is known of. >> thank you, pierre. i know you will continue to work this story throughout the night. now we want to turn back to boston and the incredible stories we've been hearing all day. we are learning that one person who was in the crowd yesterday was a former line backer for the new england patriots. the beloved football team of boston. and when the bombs went off, he leapt into action. abc's dan harris is in boston to show us what happened. dan? >> reporter: a lot of people were talking about joe andruzzi tonight because the former offensive lineman for the new england patriots is featured in 5i picture that has gone viral. you can see him in the picture, who won three super bowls with the new england patriots, you can see him carrying an injured woman to safety. she is a mother, whose three daughters were unable to help her.

andruzzi happened to be at the finish line because his charitable foundation sponsors a team of runners that run every year. when the explosions went off, he started to help people. here's what he said late today. >> the three young girls were crying and they were yelling that my mom couldn't walk, and they were trying to carry her. i thought they were going to keel over. they were young and they weren't strong enough. they were trying, and i ran over and turned around, circled around and saw an ambulance within distance and carried her over there. and, you know, i was just looking to help in any which way i can. >> reporter: he said he had no idea there was a cameraman there, but there was. he was from the boston globe and he took that picture which has been e-mailed quite widely here especially in the patriot community here. andruzzi comes by his heroic instincts honestly.

his father is a former new york city police officer and three of his brothers are new york city firefighters. all of them were on duty on 9/11 and leapt into the fray to help people on that terrible day. >> what a story it is. thanks so much, dan. as we've been saying, the president addressed the nation, calling the bombing an act of terrorism, whoever is behind it. jonathan karl has been tracking the administration's response. jon, tell us the news. >> reporter: just a short while ago, the white house informed us that the president will travel to boston on thursday to attend an interfaith memorial service for the victims of the marathon bombing. earlier today the president summoned his national security team to the white house, including his attorney general, the secretary of homeland security and the fbi director, for a meeting in the oval office, to get the latest on the investigation. right after that meeting, diane, the president came into the white house briefing room, and

he told us that the american people refuse to be terrorized. but he also made it clear that this bombing was an act of terrorism. >> this was a heinous and cowardly act, and given what we now know about what took place, the fbi is investigating it as an act of terrorism. any time bombs are used to target innocent civilians, it is an act of terror. what we don't yet know, however, is who carried out this attack, or why, whether it was planned and executed by a terrorist organization, foreign or domestic, or whether the act of a malevolent individual. >> reporter: senior officials tell me, they don't even have a working theory as to whether or not this was domestic terrorism or international terrorism, some kind of an al qaeda-affiliated group. they have no indication yet.

they say the investigation is really only now getting under way. meanwhile, the flag over the white house earlier today was lowered to half staff. that after the president issued a proclamation, declaring it as a mark of respect for the victims of the senseless acts of violence perpetrated on april 15th, 2013. flags at all federal buildings, all around the world, embassies, consulates, and military facilities will be lowered and kept at half staff for the rest of the week. >> okay, jon, thanks. you mentioned that investigation. moments ago, i sat down with someone who was looking at that investigation with a very seasoned eye. he is the former mayor of new york city, rudolph giuliani. as you know, he was mayor of new york during 9/11. he sat down right here with me. >> at this moment, what is the most helpful to boston? is it surveillance tapes? are they studying those? is it the videos people are sending in? >> it's interesting. i was in london when the attack

took place on july 7 of 2005. they caught those people in less than a day. they caught them with tape. >> surveillance? >> they got a lot of surveillance cameras in boston. more than new york, less than london. >> more than new york? >> more than new york, less than london. you also had a very much focused on event with professional cameras, amateur cameras. it may be that some person photographing their husband coming across the finish line might have caught something. the critical film might not get turned in for two or three days. the person might not even know they have it. >> what's your message tonight to the mayor of boston and to the people? >> people should go about their lives. they should not let whatever form of terrorism this is, they shouldn't let them win. this is what they're trying to do to us. they can't capture us, overwhelm us, destroy us. all they can do is frighten us and try to stop us doing the things that make us a great

country. and we shouldn't let them do that. i heard mayor menino say that over and over again. >> thanks so much. >> and my heart goes out to them and my prayers. >> stay with us. because i asked mayor giuliani to stay as i brought in boston mayor tom menino who broke his ankle on friday, but still has been visiting friends and families of victims in the hospital and characteristically telling them, quote, we will get the sun of guns, we will get them. mr. mayor, so grateful you're with us. i want to check on what we know for sure at this moment. because we've been told that there's some evidence of some kind of pressure cooker from this bomb. we've been told to look for a big, dark bag. is there anything else at this moment you can tell us for sure? >> i know it's an ongoing investigation, but the fbi regional director said today that the pressure cooker might be involved in this incident, that we don't have any other

information that we can give to the public at this time. >> the surveillance cameras, are they everywhere? are you looking through them now? >> that is the most cameraed part of the city, that area. both public and private. and we're looking at all that video. i believe watching the video, we'll be able to find somebody who can be a suspect in this case and go forward. >> well, i want to bring in, if i can, someone whose voice you know well. mayor rudolph giuliani, who's been sitting and talking with me, and he was just saying he remembers when the red sox sent word to the yankees that we're on the same team today. mr. mayor, do you want to say something? >> my heart goes out to you and to the people of your city -- >> how are you? >> i'm very well. >> i can see that. >> we're getting through this. i found out that the community

comes together on issues like this better than ever before. >> mayor, one of the images that i take away from yesterday were your firefighters, your police officers, and some of your citizens, running right into the fire. >> the first responders did a great job. >> mr. mayor, we salute those incredible first responders and we thank you again. we were talking, mayor giuliani and i, about the fact that tonight the yankees are going to play "sweet caroline" in the a. >> that's an historic moment when that song goes off at the ball game.
